A yer,tabre Wolf Boy.

Some natives, travelling by some un-
frequented part of the jungle in the
Bulandshahr district, were surprised to
see q small boy, or years old, crawl
ing about on hands and feet. On
drawing near they were amazed to see
the boy disappear quickly within the
interior of a large hole. which, on
closer inspection, turned out to be the
dwelling-place of some wild beast They
reported the occurrence to the magis-
trate sahib of Bulanshahr, who dis
patched messengers to the spot with in
structions to light fire at the mouth of
the cave. This was DONE and the
binding fumes making their way into
the faFthest corner of the hole, snarl-
ing she-woh sprang forth with a bound.
A moment later the boy. too, came
forth. when he fell easy prey TO those
intent on securing him: On conveying
him to the magistrate the boy was
found to be specifies. imbeciie, and as
near an approach &c an animal as a
| human being can possibly be. Vege-
table food was offered TO him, but this
he refused. And it was only when
meat was placed before him that be
would eat In the orphanage he soor
learned to walk upright, partake o.
| vegetable food and to wear clothing
All attempts to teach HIM to speak have
been fruitless, and he is void of reason

lincoln on QuarreIs.

After telling of the Shields duel in the
January Century. Nicolay and Hay give
the following: This was Mr.. Lincoln's
last personal quarrel Although the
rest Of his life was passed in hot and
earnest debate. he never again descend
ed to the level of his adversaries, who
woald gladly enough have resorted to
unseemly wrangling. In later years it
became his duty to give an official
reprimand to a young officer who had
been court-martialed for quarrel with
one of his associates. The reprimand
is probably the gentlest recorded in the
annals of penal discourses, and it shows,
in few words, the principles which
ruled the conduct of this great and
peaceable man. IL has never before
been published, and it deserves 70 be
written in letters of gold on the walls OF
every gymnasium and college:
'FThe advice of father TO his son.
Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but
being in, bear it that the opposed may
beware of theer is good, but not the
best. Quarrel not at all. No man re-
solved to make the most of himself can
spare time for personal contention.
Still less can he afford to take all the
consequences, including the vitiating of
his temper and the loss of self-control.
Yield larger things TO which you can
show no moro than equal right; and
Weld lesser ones though clearly your
own. Better give your path to dog
than be bitten by him in contesting for
the right. Even killing the dog would
not euro the bite"

They are generally men of experience

Kansans coming here generally make

San Diego Land company, presided
over by C. E. Heath, formerly of New

If there should be vacancy in the

Mr.. II. for the position. 1t would be
no more than right to put him on the

A Contest Certain.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 3.-Re-
publicans do not admit the legality of
Turpie's election to the United States
senate or that the work of the Joint
convention was perfected in the pro-
ceedings of Wednesday. On the other
hand the democrats claim that the
record is valid, and that the joint con-
vention adjourned yesterday sine die.
In accordance with a motion
of Representative Gardiner, which the
republicans say prevailed, the joint
convention reassembled to-day at noon
with all the democratic and seven re-
publican senators absent. Speaker
Sayre presided and the clerk of the
house called the roll. Ten senators
and fifty-siX representatives of the re-
publican side answered land the dem
ocratic members of the house were
silent. They were regarded as
the absentees until the roll of that
class was called, when the speaker an
nounced the presence of each one, but
as not answering. Representative
Gardiner then presented a preamble
and resolution reciting the illegality
of the election of Turpie and the pre-
tended adjournment of the
joint convention sine die, and
calling for an investigation in order to
prepare a memorial of contest to be
presented to the United States senate
The resolution provided for the ap-
pointment of committee of five to

Fe road are hard at work on their
bridge at that point. They are now
sinking the caissons to put in the foun-
dations for the piers this winter. The
road has been graded and irOned to the
river bank. This is the point at which
the Santa Fe expects to cross the Mis-
souri, river with its Chicago extension.
They cross the Mississippi river at Fort
Madison, a few miles above Keokuk.
Mr.. Mcmillan, president of the Mis-
souri, Car and Foundry company, went
to Chicago a few days ago to bid on a
contract for 4 500 cars, passenger and
freight, for the Santa Fe's Chicago
extension. When this contract is
let it will be the largest con-
tract for cars ever undertaken
in America. The total cost of this i'm
mense number of cars runs up into the
millions. The Santa Fe folks are en-
deavoring to secure 5000 feet of ground
for switch of that length on the jack
son county side of the river at Sibley.
They want switch long enough to
allow two freight trains of fifty cars
each to pass at this point. They Sc
cured about 500 feet, but it is almost
impossible to get 5000 feet without
making heavy cuts. The contracts for
the grading between this city and Fort
Madison have been let, and everything
looks favorable to the speedy compile
tion of this new line to Chicago. The
roadbed between this city and Sibley
has been graded as far as Riverside

Strength OF Marketa ro.tea

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-R. G. Dunn s.
Co.'s Weekly Review says: Panics
abroad and strikes at home have tested
the strength of all markets during the
past week. Over hastily it is inferred
that panics on foreign exchanges mean
war; they may mean only a collapse of
the unusual speculation which has
prevailed of late, especially at Berlin
and thus may get rid of a strong in
centive to circulate warlike rumors.
News in the strict sense does not af-
ford much evidence that war impends,
but rumor and apprehensions have de-
pressed stocks and lifted grain and
thus the tested markets have shown
unexpected steadiness. The foreign
unloading of American stocks has
caused but a moderate decline in prices
while even in the grain market
the advance has been conservative anC
